We do test preupgrade as part of the pre-release testing. The problem is
that people do all sorts of wacky things to their systems that cause it
to not work well. I'm sure that QA would love to have more people
testing preupgrade during the beta->RC window.

So, your statement that devs don't care isn't valid. It may still not be
worth the pain, depending on how much you have installed outside of the
Fedora Package universe.
